EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the West County Center Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 4.7% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date.  The West County Center Mortgage Loan is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the West County Center Mortgage Loan and one other pari passu loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. The other pari passu portion of the loan combination was securitized in the J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2012-LC9 transaction, Commission File Number 333-165147-05 (the “JPMCC 2012-LC9 Transaction”). This loan combination, including the West County Center Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the JPMCC 2012-LC9 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association is the master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the JPMCC 2012-LC9 Transaction.  The responsibilities of Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as primary servicer of this loan combination with respect to the issuing entity, are subsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the JPMCC 2012-LC9 Transaction.  Thus, the servicer compliance statement provided by Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicer and primary servicer with respect to this loan combination.

 

Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association is the master servicer of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer of the West County Center Mortgage Loan. As a result, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the certificate administrator of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the West County Center Mortgage Loan. As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the trustee and custodian of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the West County Center Mortgage Loan.  As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a servicing function participant in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

With respect to the pari passu loan combination that includes the West County Center Mortgage Loan, (i) the report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria and attestation report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria of Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC as special servicer of the West County Center Mortgage Loan and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC as operating advisor of the West County Center Mortgage Loan, listed on the Exhibit Index are omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K as they are not required to be included on this Annual Report on Form 10-K per Instruction 3 to Item 1122 of Regulation AB because they are parties performing activities that address servicing criteria relating to 5% or less of the assets of the issuing entity; and (ii) the servicer compliance statement of Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC as special servicer of the West County Center Mortgage Loan, listed on the Exhibit Index is omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K as it is not required by Item 1123 of Regulation AB to be included on this Annual Report on Form 10-K because it is an unaffiliated party that is not a “servicer” that meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB.

Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceeding involving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following, with respect to C-III Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, certificate administrator and custodian:

On May 12, 2016, certain holders of certificates issued by Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Series 2007-C5 Trust (the “2007-C5 Trust“) filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York derivatively for the 2007-C5 Trust (M.H. Davidson & Co, et. al. against C-III Asset Management, LLC (“C-III AM”), Supreme Court of New York County of New York Index No. 652571/2016) alleging, among other things, that C-III AM as special servicer for the 2007-C5 Trust breached its duties to the 2007-C5 Trust by undervaluing a mortgage loan which was purchased by the third party directing certificateholder for the 2007-C5 Trust pursuant to the governing pooling and servicing agreement. The plaintiffs have alleged damages in an amount no less than $25,000,000.  On July 1, 2016, C-III AM filed a motion to dismiss.  A hearing on the motion was held on March 6, 2017, and is pending a ruling.  There can be no assurances as to the outcome of this motion or the proceeding or the possible impact on C-III AM. However, C-III AM believes that it performed its obligations under the related pooling and servicing agreement in good faith, and that its actions were proper.  C-III AM believes the plaintiffs’ claims are unfounded and intends to vigorously defend itself and contest the claims.

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”), in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts, which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, a group of institutional investors filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against the bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “Federal Court Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted. As with the prior state court action, the Federal Court Complaint is one of six similar complaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and US Bank) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs. The Federal Court Complaint against Wells Fargo Bank alleges that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells Fargo Bank and other trustees in the District Court by RMBS investors in these and other transactions, and these cases against Wells Fargo Bank are proceeding before the same District Court judge. A similar complaint was also filed May 27, 2016 in New York state court by a different plaintiff investor. On January 19, 2016, an order was entered in connection with the Federal Court Complaint in which the District Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trusts at issue in the Federal Court Complaint; the District Court also allowed plaintiffs to file amended complaints as to the remaining, non-dismissed trusts, if they so chose, and three amended complaints have been filed. On December 17, 2016, the investor plaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from the Federal Court Complaint filed a new complaint in New York state court (the “State Court Complaint”). Motions to dismiss all of the actions are pending except for the recently filed State Court Complaint. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations, or the possible impact of the litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Wells Fargo Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of any losses to investors, and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.
